Hi
Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Can you please explain what you mean by pressure cook for 7 mins? Can I add the weight on top and let it go through a few whistles or not put a weight on the cooker but just cook it for 7 minutes?
Thanks.
Hi, thanks for asking. Place weight on pressure cooker and cook chicken for 7 mins( during 7 mins of cooking process 2 whistles will release depending on size of your cooker).
Hi , thanks for the recipe , if i am taking 1 kg chicken, then also the same 7 min for cooking in pressure cooker
How much water need to add in pressure cooker?
I believe you are asking about the water needed to be added with chicken marination which is pressure cooked. I buy packed chicken in bone from supermarket, generally these chicken oozes lot of water by themselves so I don't add any water during pressure cooking. If you prefer you can add about 1/4 cup water which is sufficient if you add more water then you to need wait until all these water to dry up while frying.
Chicken is lean meat which cooks faster, may be you can cook for 3 more minutes if cooking 1kg chicken( including breast meat which is fibrous than thigh meat), that's totally 10 minutes but not more than that because it again cooks on the pan until gravy dries up.
I tried this recipe today. It was very easy to make and it turned out to be perfect! :)
